Certain foods can
help treat some of the symptoms of prostatitis. For instance, tomatoes contain
the bioflavovoid lycopene, which is known to reduce frequency of urination.
Tomatoes, as well as fish and cranberries, are antioxidants that can prevent
prostate cancer. A diet that favors whole grains, soy, steamed vegetables and
fresh fruits is recommended for men with signs of prostatitis. For men who
suffer from a swollen prostate, adding an equal combination of parsley and
juniper berries to foods offers natural relief.

Maintaining a
healthy prostate is essential for preventing prostatitis. Drinking plenty of
water and homemade juices made with carrots and spinach are all beneficial.
When snacking, consider watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds, both good for
cleansing the system and maintaining prostate health. On the other hand, red
meat and fatty, spicy and acidic foods should be avoided. Drinking alcohol and
caffeinated beverages should also be limited.

Remedies

There are certain
natural supplements that are linked with easing symptoms of prostatitis.
Quercetin, zinc and flower pollen are among them. Taking vitamin and mineral
supplements of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, beta carotene and selenium are
also among the suggested home remedies. Lifestyle changes can also make a
difference. For instance, relaxing in a warm bath and sitting on a pillow helps
to minimize prostatitis discomfort. Men with the condition are also advised
against riding a bike.
